Our vessels are equipped with the discharging equipment Kvaerner/Thun cargo scooper.
It consists of an aft-moving scraper-conveyor which scoops the cargo from the box-shaped holds, feeding it onto a longitudinal conveyor. This conveyor transports the cargo to the bucket elevator.
The elevator then conveys the cargo up to the boom where it is discharged via a third conveyor, to the required delivery point.
To discharge, the ship's crew turns the boom into position. Depending on port facility, the cargo may be put on quay, or into a hopper.
The boom provides an outreachn of between 14,5 meters and 32 meters depending on which vessel is employed.
During loading the gear is raised underneath the coamings which makes the loading procedure as easy as loading a conventional vessel.
This also makes the vessel well suited for grab discharging since the holds are box-shaped and the discharging gear is "hidden".

In armed conflict and in daily life, ships have become an integral part of modern commercial and military systems. Fishing boats are used by millions of fishermen throughout the world. Military forces operate vessels for naval warfare and to transport and support forces ashore. Commercial vessels, nearly 35,000 in number, carried 7.4billion tons of cargo in 2007. As of 2011, there are about 104,304 ships with IMO numbers in the world.

Ships were always a key in history's great explorations and scientific and technological development. Navigators such as Zheng He spread such inventions as the compass and gunpowder. Ships have been used for such purposes as colonization and the slave trade, and have served scientific, cultural, and humanitarian needs. After the 16th century, new crops that had come from and to the Americas via the European seafarers significantly contributed to the world population growth.Ship transport has shaped the world's economy into today's energy-intensive pattern.

Self

The self is the subject of one's own experience of phenomena: perception, emotions, thoughts. In phenomenology, it is conceived as what experiences, and there isn't any experiencing without an experiencer, the self. The self is therefore an "immediate given", an intrinsic dimension of the fact of experiencing phenomena. In some other trends of philosophy, the self is instead seen as requiring a reflexiveperceptionof oneself, the individual person, meaning the self in such a view is an object of consciousness.

The self has been studied extensively by philosophers and psychologists and is central to many world religions. With the recent rise in technology, the self has been discussed under various new emerging fields, such as Technoself Studies.

Philosophy

The philosophy of self seeks to describe essential qualities that constitute a person's uniqueness or essential being. There have been various approaches to defining these qualities. The self can be considered that being which is the source of consciousness, the agentresponsible for an individual's thoughts and actions, or the substantial nature of a person which endures and unifies consciousness over time.

Baltrader Concept of selfdischarging cement vessel

When selecting the appropriate means of transport, cost savings is not the only goal. Speed, flexibility, reliability and transport volume also play a crucial role. As a result, specialized cement vessels with self-discharging devices whose closed systems are particularly suitable for transporting cement, granulated blast-furnace slag, ground granulated blast-furnace slag and fly ash provide unique technical features and clear advantages over conventional mini-bulkers:
Clean loading and unloading since cement dust is avoided
No contamination or clumping of the cargo due to water ingress or cargo residues
Loading and unloading unaffected by weather as a result of closed loading and discharging systems
Ability to plan accurately and ensure punctual delivery.

1000 Foot Ships of the Great Lakes - All 13 Vessels!

Between 2015 and 2017, I managed to capture footage of all 13 thousand-foot lake carriers in the Duluth, Minnesota area. So it seemed like a good idea to bring them all together for one video. Some of this footage has already been uploaded to my channel as individual videos, some hasn't. But I re-edited the footage and decided to go with natural sound instead of music background this time (even if the wind noise in the microphone is slightly annoying at times). Unfortunately, three of the ships didn't offer up Captain's salutes (AmericanIntegrity, Edwin H. Gott, and Burns Harbor).
Here are the ships covered in the video. All were recorded in Duluth, Minnesota, except where noted:

By Ted Wilush
In October 2010, the Government of Canada elected to remove a long standing 25% import duty on vessels built in foreign yards and brought under Canadian flag. This duty had been put in place to protect Canadian shipyards from foreign competition but was becoming increasingly damaging to domestic shippers as more Canadian yards went into decline and bankruptcy or became unable to build new commercial vessels at economic costs. This duty remission combined with falling orders at Chinese shipyards and a high Canadian dollar proved to be the perfect environment for a long awaited Great Lakes fleet renewal program that ultimately translated into CSL’s TrilliumClass program.

You can see in this video, the Kuber / Moore unloading, being refueled and finally turning in the Fox River and leaveing Green Bay. I don't know exactly how many truck loads of fuel were taken on, I counted two tanker trucks, but I suspect there were more, because of the amount of time they were refueling. That took a couple hours. According to my great grandfather's 1906 to 1908 log books (which I have) he used to refuel with coal in well under an hour, always in the St Mary's river at Detour MI.

This duty remission combined with falling orders at Chinese shipyards and a high Canadian dollar proved to be the perfect environment for a long awaited Great Lakes fleet renewal program that ultimately translated into CSL’s TrilliumClass program.
The Trillium Class vessels were designed by the Canadian firm Cooke Naval Architect Consultants Inc. to be CSL’s newest generation of state-of-the-art bulk carriers focusing on maximum fuel efficiency, minimal environmental impact and providing overall operational efficiency while meeting evolving needs of customers on the Great Lakes. The naming scheme for these four vessels follows in the footsteps of CSL’s famous ‘Bay Class’ straight deckers launched in the 1960’s.
The contract to build this new generation of self unloading lakers was awarded to ChengxiShipyard of Jiangyin, JiangsuChina. The third of four nearly identical sister ships, Hull CX9303, was launched July 23, 2012. She was christened Whitefish Bay (2) alongside her sistership Baie Comeau (2) in a joint ceremony taking place on November 16, 2012. After successful sea trials, the new vessel departed China on May 16 to begin her delivery trip across the Pacific, through the Panama Canal and on to Montreal QC. She successfully arrived at Montreal on July 9 where she stayed until July 21st having the temporary hull strengthening removed that had been installed for the deep sea voyage, in addition to other minor modifications to prepare her for entering service on the Great Lakes.
The name Whitefish Bay has been associated with CSL since 1960. The first Whitefish Bay was launched on November 23, 1962 at Davie Shipbuilding, Lauzon PQ. This vessel measured 730-feet long by 75-feet wide by 39-feet deep and was powered by a ParsonsMarine Turbine Co. 10,000 SHP steam turbine engine, giving her a rated service speed of 15 knots. This ‘Bay Class’ straight decker was converted to a self unloader in 1969 and renamed Quetico. The Quetico operated until 1983 when in a unique instance, was re-converted to a straight decker and given back her original name. The old bulker put in another decade in the grain trade until she was retired. Sold for scrap in 1993, she was towed to China to be broken up ironically where her successor would be built almost 20 years later.
The new Whitefish Bay measures 740-feet long by 78-feet wide and 48-feet deep. The self-unloader's 25 hatches feed into 5 holds where she can carry approximately 37,690 tons at the mid-summer draft of 29.5-feet. The vessel displaces 8,101 tons lightship. Her self-unloading equipment consists of a two-belt gravity fed system with a ‘C’ type loop belt elevator that feeds a stern mounted discharge boom that can unload at up to 5,450 tons per hour. Motive power is supplied by a single M.A.N B&W 6S50ME-B9 6-cylinder, slow speed diesel engine producing 8750kw or 10,680 BHP. Power is transmitted directly to a single controllable pitch propeller that can push her to a service speed of 13.5 knots. She is equipped with both bow and stern thrusters. The ship is up to 5 percent more fuel efficient than CSL's previous class of ships, and will save approximately 750 tonnes of fuel per year – amounting to yearly carbon emissions reductions of 2,400 tonnes.
The Whitefish Bay departed Montreal on July 21, 2012 on her maiden voyage on the Great Lakes system. Her first port of call was Windsor ON to unload a partial cargo of ballast stone that had been loaded in China for extra stability during the Pacific crossing. After a successful discharge, she proceeded upbound to Superior WI to take on her first paying load of coal for the transshipment facility at Quebec City.

Citadel Shipping - Unloading 3D Animation

Our vessels are equipped with the discharging equipment Kvaerner/Thun cargo scooper.
It consists of an aft-moving scraper-conveyor which scoops the cargo from the box-shaped holds, feeding it onto a longitudinal conveyor. This conveyor transports the cargo to the bucket elevator.
The elevator then conveys the cargo up to the boom where it is discharged via a third conveyor, to the required delivery point.
To discharge, the ship's crew turns the boom into position. Depending on port facility, the cargo may be put on quay, or into a hopper.
The boom provides an outreachn of between 14,5 meters and 32 meters depending on which vessel is employed.
During loading the gear is raised underneath the coamings which makes the loading procedure as easy as loading a conventional vessel.
This also makes the vessel well suited for grab discharging since the holds are box-shaped and the discharging gear is "hidden".

Self Unloading Ship -- Kamengo Feeder

Taken in 1996, this is an unedited video of Kamengo's first prototype feeder installed on a self-unloading ship. The video demonstrates the difference between the Kamengo Feeder and conventional gates -- where you see rat-holing forming. Kamengo has since supplied Feeders for two self-unloading ships, of which the first was awarded Lloyd's List's Innovation on BoardCargoHandling award. Please visit www.kamengo.com to learn more about our Feeder, our expertise and how we can help you better meter the flow of difficult flowing material.

In armed conflict and in daily life, ships have become an integral part of modern commercial and military systems. Fishing boats are used by millions of fishermen throughout the world. Military forces operate vessels for naval warfare and to transport and support forces ashore. Commercial vessels, nearly 35,000 in number, carried 7.4billion tons of cargo in 2007. As of 2011, there are about 104,304 ships with IMO numbers in the world.

Ships were always a key in history's great explorations and scientific and technological development. Navigators such as Zheng He spread such inventions as the compass and gunpowder. Ships have been used for such purposes as colonization and the slave trade, and have served scientific, cultural, and humanitarian needs. After the 16th century, new crops that had come from and to the Americas via the European seafarers significantly contributed to the world population growth.Ship transport has shaped the world's economy into today's energy-intensive pattern.

Lewis Kuber and Olive Moore Unloading Stone on the Fox River

In the Port of Green Bay, Wisconsin, on the Fox River, the barge Lewis J Kuber, with tug Olive L Moore, are unloading limestone. They arrived in port about 6am. I arrived about 10:30 am to see them unloading.
The "Lewis J Kuber" is a self unloading barge, formerly named "Buckeye". For a full history of this boat, go to the BoatNerd website: http://www.boatnerd.com/pictures/fleet/lewisjkuber.htm
The "Olive L Moore" is a push tug, the power unit of this pair. Again a full history of this tug is at BoatNerd.com at: http://www.boatnerd.com/pictures/fleet/olivelmoore.htm
I've been interested in shipping on the Great Lakes for as long as I can remember. Probably due to stories that I heard as a young boy about my great grandfather who was a sailor on the lakes from the 1870s until his death in 1909.
You can see in this video, the Kuber / Moore unloading, being refueled and finally turning in the Fox River and leaveing Green Bay. I don't know exactly how many truck loads of fuel were taken on, I counted two tanker trucks, but I suspect there were more, because of the amount of time they were refueling. That took a couple hours. According to my great grandfather's 1906 to 1908 log books (which I have) he used to refuel with coal in well under an hour, always in the St Mary's river at Detour MI.

CSL WhiteFish Bay Aug 9 15

Great LakesFleetPageVesselFeature - Whitefish Bay (2)
By Ted Wilush
In October 2010, the Government of Canada elected to remove a long standing 25% import duty on vessels built in foreign yards and brought under Canadian flag. This duty had been put in place to protect Canadian shipyards from foreign competition but was becoming increasingly damaging to domestic shippers as more Canadian yards went into decline and bankruptcy or became unable to build new commercial vessels at economic costs. This duty remission combined with falling orders at Chinese shipyards and a high Canadian dollar proved to be the perfect environment for a long awaited Great Lakes fleet renewal program that ultimately translated into CSL’s TrilliumClass program.
The Trillium Class vessels were designed by the Canadian firm Cooke Naval Architect Consultants Inc. to be CSL’s newest generation of state-of-the-art bulk carriers focusing on maximum fuel efficiency, minimal environmental impact and providing overall operational efficiency while meeting evolving needs of customers on the Great Lakes. The naming scheme for these four vessels follows in the footsteps of CSL’s famous ‘Bay Class’ straight deckers launched in the 1960’s.
The contract to build this new generation of self unloading lakers was awarded to ChengxiShipyard of Jiangyin, JiangsuChina. The third of four nearly identical sister ships, Hull CX9303, was launched July 23, 2012. She was christened Whitefish Bay (2) alongside her sistership Baie Comeau (2) in a joint ceremony taking place on November 16, 2012. After successful sea trials, the new vessel departed China on May 16 to begin her delivery trip across the Pacific, through the Panama Canal and on to Montreal QC. She successfully arrived at Montreal on July 9 where she stayed until July 21st having the temporary hull strengthening removed that had been installed for the deep sea voyage, in addition to other minor modifications to prepare her for entering service on the Great Lakes.
The name Whitefish Bay has been associated with CSL since 1960. The first Whitefish Bay was launched on November 23, 1962 at Davie Shipbuilding, Lauzon PQ. This vessel measured 730-feet long by 75-feet wide by 39-feet deep and was powered by a ParsonsMarine Turbine Co. 10,000 SHP steam turbine engine, giving her a rated service speed of 15 knots. This ‘Bay Class’ straight decker was converted to a self unloader in 1969 and renamed Quetico. The Quetico operated until 1983 when in a unique instance, was re-converted to a straight decker and given back her original name. The old bulker put in another decade in the grain trade until she was retired. Sold for scrap in 1993, she was towed to China to be broken up ironically where her successor would be built almost 20 years later.
The new Whitefish Bay measures 740-feet long by 78-feet wide and 48-feet deep. The self-unloader's 25 hatches feed into 5 holds where she can carry approximately 37,690 tons at the mid-summer draft of 29.5-feet. The vessel displaces 8,101 tons lightship. Her self-unloading equipment consists of a two-belt gravity fed system with a ‘C’ type loop belt elevator that feeds a stern mounted discharge boom that can unload at up to 5,450 tons per hour. Motive power is supplied by a single M.A.N B&W 6S50ME-B9 6-cylinder, slow speed diesel engine producing 8750kw or 10,680 BHP. Power is transmitted directly to a single controllable pitch propeller that can push her to a service speed of 13.5 knots. She is equipped with both bow and stern thrusters. The ship is up to 5 percent more fuel efficient than CSL's previous class of ships, and will save approximately 750 tonnes of fuel per year – amounting to yearly carbon emissions reductions of 2,400 tonnes.
The Whitefish Bay departed Montreal on July 21, 2012 on her maiden voyage on the Great Lakes system. Her first port of call was Windsor ON to unload a partial cargo of ballast stone that had been loaded in China for extra stability during the Pacific crossing. After a successful discharge, she proceeded upbound to Superior WI to take on her first paying load of coal for the transshipment facility at Quebec City.
